No kidding! I thought that I was really making a good purchase, and to be honest from a hardware standpoint I still think that it is the best drive that was available at the time. But the incredibly poor support (present company excepted, of course!) and COMPLETE lack of information…

Chuck, I have to say that I agree with Bill. Sony has been VERY uncooperative and uninformative since I got stuck with my CDU535. But, since you and Wayne have been trying to be so helpful I'll re-ask a question which has NEVER been answered for me… If Sony is…
Wayne. >>>…you had asked about support for older drives: 535 etc. >>>I'll try to get an answer for you from the tech support group. That would be EXTREMELY appreciated! I'm trying desperately to do two things: 1. Keep up with some NT developments… 2. Continue to use my Sony CD-ROM…

Dave, I can't speak for the CDU-31A in particular, but I can tell you that from a hardware stand-point I find the CDU-535 (350ms) I purchased from Sony to be excellent. But, I'm going to warn you that I have found support from the corporate level to be abyssmal. Chuck…
Hmm. Well, I can understand that as I've put together a list of 50 or so people who are going to voice their displeasure at the poor support Sony has offered us so far. In fact, Chuck Roman's post is the first time I've seen anything like an acknowledgement from…
